I have emailed the store, I think, and can now only light candles and incense whilst waiting to hear . . .

 

Do they accept non-japanese credit cards?

Rest in pm.

Contact Atsu (cool-japan on eBay). He enabled me with IAI35 and Twilight Blue. Took awhile, but he got them.

I tried contacting them directly before, not too long ago, but never heard from them. Let me know if you've better luck with it.

@Haruka and Tas: I am in touch with them. Inks are back in stock. Order placed. :)

 

Edit: jmccarty: thanks. I want multiple bottles so Atsu is not a viable option for that. I'm having them shipped to my contact in Tokyo. But 2700 yen shipping within Japan. :|

How much? Can I ask you to get me a bottle if it's not the price of a Kidney?

Send me a pm and we'll discuss.

Price is 2160 yen plus part of shipping to tokyo which is total 2700 yen. I have ordered 4 so if I get one for you, can you pay 1/5 of the shipping to Tokyo?

Then shipping to UK. Cost of bottle would be $26-28 without shipping.

I've come over all cheapskate and decided that whilst I REALLY like School Brown that I'll settle for Cult Pens Deep Dark Brown as a close enough match.

Tas, the second appears to be a decent match for PPM, how did they compare?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Very well. School Brown is beautiful to use, I'd say nicer actually. None of that "thickness" Mocha tends to have. Mocha is a little redder in the line and swab though (my Mocha swab is a bit rubbish though, must do another :unsure: )

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
